    Gearbox expert needed ! (Fred, sideways danny etc)

    Cheers Fred, I'll get the cash together + contingency. 2 small questions I'm guessing you will need to hold onto the car for a few days and as the engine is coming out would you change the manifold to a 4-2-1 ? Only reason I ask is because I hope this is the last time it's out and there an arse...

    Gearbox expert needed ! (Fred, sideways danny etc)

    Dread to ask the question, but how much am I looking at for full belt change with depahser and water pump and sorting that gearbox (assuming it just needs a small repair and not a full rebuild)

    Gearbox expert needed ! (Fred, sideways danny etc)

    I've got a vid from inside the car which shows a slightly bobbing idle, I was going to get the belts changed soon anyway to be honest along with the water pump and dephaser so if it is shot it's no biggie (Unless it goes between now and then) New ICV fitted also (Oh its also worth mentioning I...

    Gearbox expert needed ! (Fred, sideways danny etc)

    Which one Danny ? if I depress the clutch the noise does quieten down a little from the gearbox, if I prod the accelerator the noise increases with the rev's but I'm fairly certain there isn't any knocking from the left hand side of the engine, just a light tapping/clicking from the front/middle...

    Gearbox expert needed ! (Fred, sideways danny etc)

    Most of that noise is from the gearbox although it is difficult to make out, there isn't alot of noise coming from the cam cover area - more from the middle of the inlet which im guessing in the injectors

    Gearbox expert needed ! (Fred, sideways danny etc)

    Got a strange niggle (That will no doubt end up being a huge issue) from the gearbox that I've not seen before. Basically on idle the car ticks, now the confusing part is it isn't the engine its the gearbox ! Looking at the fork I can see it wobbling like mad :S depressing the fork lightens the...

    Running new speaker cable to the door in 182

    Just been through this one myself, it takes time (Took me 2 days) to get right but the quality was good. Small drill and take off the rubber connector between the door and car and enlarge 2 of the holes (Some are unused and some have wire in them that serve no purpose, just check to see if it...
